Getting started (Generate a ticket)

Ticket testTicket() {
  final Ticket ticket = Ticket(PaperSize.mm80);

  ticket.text(
      'Regular: aA bB cC dD eE fF gG hH iI jJ kK lL mM nN oO pP qQ rR sS tT uU vV wW xX yY zZ');
  ticket.text('Special 1: àÀ èÈ éÉ ûÛ üÜ çÇ ôÔ',
      styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));
  ticket.text('Special 2: blåbærgrød',
      styles: PosStyles(codeTable: PosCodeTable.westEur));

  ticket.text('Bold text', styles: PosStyles(bold: true));
  ticket.text('Reverse text', styles: PosStyles(reverse: true));
  ticket.text('Underlined text',
      styles: PosStyles(underline: true), linesAfter: 1);
  ticket.text('Align left', styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.left));
  ticket.text('Align center', styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center));
  ticket.text('Align right',
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.right), linesAfter: 1);

  ticket.text('Text size 200%',
      styles: PosStyles(
        height: PosTextSize.size2,
        width: PosTextSize.size2,
      ));

  ticket.feed(2);
  ticket.cut();
  return ticket;
}

Print a table row:

ticket.row([
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col3',
      width: 3,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col6',
      width: 6,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
    PosColumn(
      text: 'col3',
      width: 3,
      styles: PosStyles(align: PosTextAlign.center, underline: true),
    ),
  ]);

Print an image:

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:image/image.dart';

const String filename = './logo.png';
final Image image = decodeImage(File(filename).readAsBytesSync());
// Using (ESC *) command
ticket.image(image);
// Using an alternative obsolette (GS v 0) command
ticket.imageRaster(image);

Print a barcode:

final List<int> barData = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 4];
ticket.barcode(Barcode.upcA(barData));

Getting Started (WiFi printer)

import 'package:esc_pos_printer/esc_pos_printer.dart';

final PrinterNetworkManager printerManager = PrinterNetworkManager();
printerManager.selectPrinter('192.168.0.123', port: 9100);
final PosPrintResult res = await printerManager.printTicket(testTicket());

print('Print result: ${res.msg}');
